Analysis of Innovative Project-Based Learning Methods in Enhancing Problem-Solving Skills

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze innovative project-based learning (PBL) methods and their impact on enhancing problem-solving skills among students. Project-based learning, as a modern educational approach, emphasizes practical activities and real-world applications, allowing students to actively engage in their learning process. This study reviews various research and theoretical models to understand how PBL can significantly improve problem-solving skills by fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and independent learning. The findings indicate that PBL provides a conducive environment for students to develop analytical skills and tackle complex problems through hands-on experience. Moreover, innovative methods, such as integrating digital technologies and interdisciplinary approaches, have been identified as effective enhancements to traditional PBL, offering further improvements in students’ problem-solving abilities. However, the study also highlights challenges such as the need for more resources and time in implementing PBL effectively. Suggestions for future research include exploring the long-term effects of PBL on problem-solving skills and examining its applicability across different educational contexts. The article concludes by emphasizing the potential of PBL to transform educational practices and improve students’ preparedness for real-world challenges.
